Gulf Trade (Bow 50 feet)
This Gulf oil tanker was torpedoed on March 10, 1942, by the German Sub U-588. The wreck lies in two sections. Bow or the Southeast Wreck The bow grounded after the attack and now lies in 60 feet of water 5 miles southeast of Barnegat Light. This section was cleared to a depth of forty feet. Here divers can find some boilers, parts and brass mechanisms scattered throughout the hull plates. A popular site for lobster and spear fisherman. Although it has been overlooked by artifact hunters, the wheelhouse was leveled and has been covered over by sand since its' sinking. Divers have recovered china, gravy boats, cups, thermometers, .50 caliber bullets and several portholes here. Divers should be aware that live hedgehog bombs dropped from blimps during the war are occasionally found at this site. Do not recover... In the mid-seventies a dragger net caught a large section of wreckage and here a large Sand Tiger shark got caught, died and hung in the netting. An eerie site to behold as novice divers dropped down the anchor line eyeing the shadowing shark swaying to and fro in the current. Gone soon after, but a haunting memory long embedded in many minds.

Gulf Trade (Stern 90 feet)
The stern section drifted 10 miles NNE from the bow and remains nearly intact and upright. The stern deckhouse was wire-dragged off the top deck. It now lies scattered on the starboard side of the main hull section. Divers will find this section interesting because one can pe*****te the large hull section with plenty of overhead light and escape routes. Lobster and all-mouth (Monk fish) are prevalent in the debris field. Artifact hunters can still find portholes buried in the sand near the port side as well an auxiliary steering gear mechanism in the far stern. A fun dive with lots of relief to explore.
Join Atlantic Divers and Dina Dee II on this exciting dive on July 11, 2026!
